Imogen Poots may just be the face for the new anticipated H&M collection ‘Marni for H&M’. While WWD has confirmed that the campaign video was shot during the month of October in Marrakesh and by the wonderful Sofia Coppola.
The H&M for Marni collection is to hit stores on March 8th
There will be no Celine runway show this season…Women’s Wear Daily reports that Phoebe Philo is pregnant with her third child and thus is planning on scaling back her upcoming presentation.
There will be a little extra breathing room during Paris Fashion Week in March: Celine, one of the hottest tickets, is skipping the runway this season. While Celine will keep its allotted March 4 time slot in the Paris Fashion Week schedule, the Fall 2012 goods will likely be shown to editors and buyers in the house’s showrooms, a more informal setting.
Which means editors will still get their fix, but those of us hanging back stateside probably won’t — until the looks hit the fashion mags come September… Read more at WWD.com.
what’s tumblr black-out?
The Tumblr Black-out is in protest against SOPA on January 18th, which is to ‘Stop Online Piracy Act’ and this bill is scheduled for a test vote in the Senate on Jan. 24th. If this bill is passed it gives the government new/full power to block Americans’ access websites that corporations don’t like. The bill lets corporations and the US government censor entire websites and cut sites off from advertising, payments and donations.
Tumblr as a website will not be shutting down on January 18th, as they have not been confirmed on the SOPA Strike page. Although there have been over 342 tumblr accounts that have been confirmed to shut down individually on this day, which you can check out on the Unfiltered List.
If this bill is passed American’s will not be allowed to:
- Download movies, music, television shows, images, etc!
- You will not be aloud to post any content that is not originally yours due to copyright infringement. Meaning that if you have not taken the image yourself, shot the video, or written even a quote yourself you cannot legally post it
Essentially this bill will change Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook, and other social media sites entirely… Check out more here: SOPA Breaks The Internet
How do I get my tumblr to black out tomorrow?
If you go on the site for the Web Goes on Strike you will see this bar, you just simply submit your url there:

Rumor has it that John Galliano is designing a capsule collection for Zara to be presented in the Spring Summer 2012 in the high street fashion brand’s store all over the world. I expect the collection to have his trademarks of reinveted delicate romanticism.

Seems like Marc Jacobs is out and Raf Simons is in. Sources close to Christian Dior tell WWD that the luxury house is close to signing the Belgian designer, but there are a few obstacles in the way, such as Simons’ recently extended contract with Jil Sander.
Simons has been with Jil Sander since 2005 and his contract was recently extended for an unknown duration, meaning Dior will most likely have to buy him out of it. Should that prove easily said and done, Simons still won’t be able to produce a ready-to-wear collection by March, let alone a couture collection by January. There might be an even bigger hurdle on the horizon, however, as Yves Saint Laurent reportedly has their eye on Simons as well. Continue reading: here

MCQ, Alexander McQueen’s younger contemporary sibling label, is gearing up to open its first standalone boutique in London. No details can be released about the opening yet - a spokesperson said today - but confirmed the store is set to open early next year in central London, stocking the McQ collection. Following the death of its eponymous designer , the label took the McQ label back in house after the expiration of its licensing agreement with SINV SpA. The autumn/winter 2011-12 collection - designed by new creative director Pina Ferlisi and set to arrive in stores in September - will be the first full McQ collection, featuring clothes and shoes.

NY Mag says that he’s set to launch a new women’s clothing line. Professor Louis Wilson of British fashion school Central St. Martins provides details of the collection.
“I think we can expect a well-considered collection, you wouldn’t expect less from a pair of professionals and I warn against dismissing it in haste. There are those who might assume Louise will be doing all the work and Kanye is just the face, I don’t believe this will be the case—he researches thoroughly and is hands on and committed to his work.”
